The Lazy Stay
This morning as I was packing the glutinous sticky rice lunch for the family, I casually told the girl that I will be making sandwich lunch for her instead because I was worried that the Chinese sticky rice kind of smells and may cause her embarrassment or make her a target of teasing at lunch. Upon hearing what I said, she told me, It ok for people to say whatever they want to. I love sticky rice and I do not think it smells. If anyone says anything about my food smells, I will tell them that my food smells good and it is nutritious and very yummy and that they are just being rude. Wah U can imagine how happy I was and how proud I am of my daughter! Seriously, i never expected those words from her!
I never mentioned it before here, but since beginning of the school year, my little second grader has been a target of bully at school. A girl from school always give her unexpected hostile or mean treatment. There are many instances where the girl just walked up to my daughter with a very crossed look (when my daughter did not do anything to/with her) and said to her something along the line so angry with you now but I don know why. Go away. And of course, my sensitive girl who sees friendship as a very important part of her life, would often come home crying about it.
We have been working with the teachers and also taking the opportunity to teach the girl how to deal with such kind of situations. For a while, the bullying did stop but these few weeks,toms outlet sale, we started to hear stories about that girl, passing teasing remarks about my daughter bento smells at lunch time. Like the recent case,cheap toms shoes, she complained about my girl lunch smells when all my girl had was just plain chicken nuggets with fruits. -_- Sigh.
As we know, kids typically don discover their self-identity until much older, they would simply want to blend in with groups, well my daughter is no different too. Because of that, I try to make a conscious effort in packing food that do not smell too strong so that she will not be teased at lunch time. I also try to encourage my girl to be more confident in speaking up for what she believes.
That why when she said those things to me this morning, I feel so happy and proud of her because she has finally learn to stand up for herself! Ah Just by typing this post, I feel so good again. Maybe I should go and look at the recipes in and find something to bake for her tomorrow!

Content: Cream Cheese and Strawberry Jam sandwich, Grapes
This bento only took me less than 15mins to make. The sandwich is just plain old strawberry cream cheese sandwich. I used two toned american cheese for the lorax cutout and applied more cream cheese to it to the sandwich. Since I don have any other materials (except the grapes) that I could use to make the pretty truffula trees, I added some flowers (using Picnik software) around the border of this bento.
Now this bento look more Lorax right?

It that time of the year again! This year we made animals thumbprints Valentine Day cards for the boy classmates. I got my ideas from here. These cards are really easy to create, and what I love most about this craft is that it is almost mess-free and most importantly, takes very little time to make. cutting the paper to size, writing the greetings and adding details to the animals. I would say,cheapptomsshoes.webs.com, it was rather fun creating these cards! So fun that I may offer my service to help the girl create her VD cards tomorrow too! LOL *:^)
Construction papers (or any heavy paper) for the card
Egg and Ham sandwich with fruits.
Because the man doesn like his sandwich to turn too soggy at lunch, I always pack his bread separately in another box. He will assemble his own sandwich when he is ready to eat them.
Since this morning the kids were really cooperative by finishing their breakfast early, they get to draw something on the hard boiled eggs for their daddy. The boy drew a smiley face and a heart and the girl drew a flower. Hopefully the man felt our love for him when he had his bento lunch today.
As for the girl bento Since Friday is Pizza lunch from school day for the girl,toms outlet, I just packed a simple snack box for her.
Content: Strawberries, Raspberries,toms outlet, Blackberries and a fortune cookie (to give her some luck with her friend who has been very difficult with her lately Sigh.) and an origami heart lunch box note.
